Purpose: This study was conducted in order to examine the effects of death anxiety and meaning of life on somatization of grandparents raising grandchildren. Methods: A convenience sample of 92 elderly grandparents raising grandchildren was recruited. The study instrument for death anxiety was the 5-point 15 items scale designed by Templer and translated by Ko, Choi, & Lee and for meaning of life, the 7-point 10-items scale by Steger, Frazier, Oishi & Kaler and translated by Won, Kim & Kwon. For somatization, the 5-point 12 items scale designed by Derogatis and translated by Kim, Kim & Won was used. Collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson Correlation and regression using the SPSS 21.0 program. Results: Average scores were 3.55 for death anxiety, 3.43 for meaning of life, and 2.74 for somatization. Death anxiety had the highest positive correlation with somatization. Meaning of life was negatively correlated with death anxiety and somatization. Death anxiety and health status were shown to influence somatization but meaning of life was not shown to influence somatization. Conclusion: The research results indicate that death anxiety and health status influence somatization in grandparents raising grandchildren. These results also provide basic information on the importance of nursing interventions in which the variables influencing somatization in grandparents raising grandchildren are considered.

목적: 본 연구는 중환자실 간호사의 죽음의미, 죽음불안, 죽음관여도 및 생명존중의지에 대해 조사하여 중환자실 간호사의 죽음에 대한 올바른 인식확립을 위한 교육프로그램 개발을 위한 기초를 마련하고자 실시한 서술적 조사연구이다. 방법: 수도권 소재 10개 종합병원 중환자실 근무 간호사 중 연구 목적을 이해하고 참여에 서면동의한 자를 대상으로 2009년 11월부터 2010년 2월까지 3개월간 자료를 수집하여 최종 230부를 분석에 사용하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 도구는 Inumiya(2002)가 개발한 사생관척도 중 죽음의미, 죽음불안, 죽음관여도, 생명존중의 4개요인 총 67문항으로 구성되었다. 자료 분석은 SPSS WIN 12.0 프로그램을 이용하여 서술통계, ANOVA, Pearson's 상관계수를 확인하였다. 결과: 대상자의 죽음의미 이해 정도는 7점 만점에 평균 4.27점이었고, 죽음의 긍정적 의미(평균 4.18점)보다 부정적 의미(평균 4.38점)에 대한 이해가 더 높았다. 죽음불안은 평균 4.43점, 죽음관여도는 평균 4.12점, 생명존중의지는 평균 4.18점이었다. 죽음의미는 죽음불안, 죽음관여도와 부적 상관관계를 보였고, 죽음의 긍정적 의미와 부정적 의미, 생명존중의지와 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 죽음불안은 죽음관여도와 정적 상관관계를 보였고, 생명존중의지와 부적 상관관계를 보였다. 죽음관여도는 생명존중의지와 부적 상관관계를 보였다. 결론: 본 연구결과 중환자실 신규간호사는 경력간호사에 비해 죽음의미 이해 정도가 낮고, 죽음불안과 죽음관여도가 높으며 생명존중의지가 낮으므로, 죽음에 대한 자신의 견해를 정립하여 임종환자 및 가족을 간호하는 역할수행에 도움을 줄 수 있는 교육프로그램 개발이 필요하다고 생각된다.
